Bill

BILL HAS GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN... 

 They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. 
 I can't even talk the way these people talk: 
 Why you ain't, 
 Where you is, 
 What he drive, 
 Where he stay, 
 Where he work, 
 Who you be... 
 And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. 
 And then I heard the father talk. 
 Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.
 In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living. 

 People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around. 
 The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. 
 These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. 
 $500 sneakers for what? 
 And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

 I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. 
 Where were you when he was 2?
 Where were you when he was 12? 
 Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol? 
 And where is the father? Or who is his father? 
 People putting their clothes on backward: 
 Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong? 
 People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something? 

 Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body? 
 What part of Africa did this come from?? 
 We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa ..... 

 I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid. 
 I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa . So stop, already! ! ! 
 With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap ......... And all of them are in jail. 

 Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem. 
 We have got to take the neighborhood back. 
 People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now. 
 We have millionaire football players who cannot read. 
 We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job. 
 Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us. 
 We have to start holding each other to a higher standard..
 We cannot blame the white people any longer.'

 WELL SAID, BILL
 It's NOT about color...
 It's about behavior!!!

about bad behaviour

Its been long time since I posted something here, but today seems to be a an idiots day!

Guy came with his 2 younger colleagues and booked them appointment for today for 10.30. He came back with the two lads and his few year old daughter 15minutes late. My colleague said that they are late and that she will not see them now. Not only was he surprised that we will not see him, he felt so offended that he keep on shouting that this is ridiculous (we told him to go away as he was annoying people already completing applications). At this point he had opened the doors, stood at the doorstep and ...farted into the office.

I thought I have seen it all.

time keeping

We had 3 people late on their interview today:
  • a girl in her twenties with poor hair extensions late by 20 minutes and excuse about not being able to park her car anywhere because she had no change to pay for the car park. Little S's answered that next time she should maybe leave home on time and make sure she has a petite cash.
  • a guy with dreadlocks saying we are racists because we are not going to see him when he was late for an hour and fifteen minutes for his interview. Reason of lateness was that he was feeling poorly. Well I wouldn't get my job if I was so late so why somebody else should get such chance?
  • a guy in a suit who was late by 2 days. Was told to come on Friday at 10am and showed up Tuesday at 11.30am. When asked why he answered that he couldn't come on Friday because he had birthday and he decided to pop in on other day

why do I care?

Last month had been a bit difficult for me. I had 2 accidents, and had to take a loan to buy new car. My friends had been splitting and coming back and some other friends expected me to give up everything to help them... and that what I wanted to write about.
Some people think that you are obligated to find them a job because you have partied together, lived together or know somebody that they know. No matter to them is the fact that you know that they drink every day or that on most of the occasions they didn't show up to other work. Lets say that Mr T is trying this with me:
- so why you didn't send me to work, M went, S went and you didn't send me in?!
- because I don't believe that you will get up at 5am to be at work at 6
- i could do that for a day or two.
- I know, but it is ongoing work for a next 8 weeks and you wouldn't do it for so long. I need to give my clients somebody who will do whole 8 weeks period...
- but I'm your friend...
And what I should say now? That my reputation depends on people that I send to work? That it's fine to have lazy and chilled out friends but it is a pain in back side to have lazy and chilled out workforce?

29.06.2012 friday of "I'm not bothered"

-So why you didn't you go to work today?
-Because you didn't pay me for one day last week.
-So why didn't you call us and said that there is something wrong and just go to work and have full weeks work this week. We would sort the money out for you.
- Well I'm calling you now...
- But its 9.30 and you should be at work already!
- Well I don't care, I want my money now! I will not work untill you pay me.
- So you not showed up to work and you expect me to give you more work after that???
- Yes! I'm a good worker!

Of course she will be paid missing day, if she let us know she would be paid at 14.00 today because it was just typing mistake. But now not only she will be paid basic rate for this week but also she had lost her premium and work on 6months contract.

Where is the logic?



Working in recruitment you see a lot of weird and ridiculous things. Some of them irritate me, some make me laugh but mostly they weaken my faith in human beings.
